Ben Franklin’s Feed the Founders Networking Event

At Feed the Founders, we believe that the entrepreneurial journey can sometimes be a lonely road, filled with challenges and uncertainties. That’s why we’ve created a monthly gathering for entrepreneurs and startup company founders in the Lancaster area. This event provides a unique opportunity for founders to connect, share their experiences, and enjoy light appetizers in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Who is Feed the Founders For?

Feed the Founders is designed for entrepreneurs who are building businesses based on novel innovations. Whether you’re developing a cutting-edge software platform, a proprietary algorithm, or a groundbreaking chemical compound, this event is tailored for you. We specifically target those who are in the thick of building something new, as we understand the trials and tribulations that can come with such endeavors.

We welcome all backgrounds, genders, races, ethnicities, and identities, understanding that the entrepreneurial journey is diverse and multifaceted. Our focus is on fostering a community of like-minded founders who are eager to connect, learn from each other, and make a real impact in our local business community.

What Can You expect?

Foster Meaningful Connections: Connect with fellow entrepreneurs who understand the challenges of building something new. Build lasting relationships that go beyond the event.

Ignite Inspiring Discussions: Engage in thought-provoking conversations, share insights, and spark new ideas that can drive your business forward.

Supportive Social Environment: We prioritize support, understanding that a strong business community can fuel individual success. Lean on each other for guidance, encouragement, and inspiration.

Learn from Similar Journeys: Meet founders who have faced similar challenges, overcome roadblocks, and have found innovative solutions. The realization that you’re not alone can be empowering and transformative.

At Feed the Founders, we want to emphasize that this isn’t a sales networking event. Our focus is on creating an environment where meaningful connections, collaboration, and support take center stage.

Our mission is clear: to provide a space where founders can connect, learn from one another, and face the challenges of entrepreneurship together. We believe in the power of fostering relationships, inspiring discussions, and offering support as you navigate the path to success.

So come as you are and join us for genuine conversations, shared experiences, and the opportunity to be part of a thriving community of entrepreneurs. Together, we can make a real impact in our local business community.
